Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

I teach pre-k and kindergarten in Yonkers, NY. My students range in age from 3 to 6 years old. Our school is the only public Montessori school in the country that educates children from pre-k through twelfth grade. We have over 1,200 students enrolled. It's a wonderful place for students from diverse backgrounds to grow educationally, get involved, and have a meaningful pre-k through high school experience. Our instructional program is rooted in the Montessori philosophy. The curriculum and extra-curricular activities are aligned with New York State Common Core Standards.

My Project

In October, my school district will be moving to the hybrid model. This means that some of my students will be learning while in the classroom two days each week and some will be learning virtually while at home. Because of safety concerns, the students who are in school will not be able to share supplies like pencils, crayons, scissors and books. They also will be unable to walk around the classroom to get the supplies they need to complete daily assignments. It would be helpful for them to have personal supply bins right on their desks so everything they need will be at their fingertips. Additionally, it would be helpful to have a magnetic board to display lessons and the morning message in a place that all students will be able to see it since students will not be able to sit at the carpet near our small easel.
